Prior Written Notice
Prior Written Notice is required under IDEA,
Part C to ensure families are provided
information about the actions being proposed or
refused surrounding their child’s participation in
AzEIP before the action takes place.
Prior Written Notice
Is intended to give families information so they
can make informed choices and decisions in the
delivery of supports and services for their child
and family.
Prior Written Notice
Must be given to the parents a reasonable time before the
Early Intervention Program proposes or refuses to initiate or
change:
•Identification (screening);
•Evaluation;
•Placement (eligibility); and
•The provision of appropriate early intervention services.
Prior Written Notice
The notice must be in sufficient detail to inform the parent
about:
•The action that is being proposed or refused;
•The reasons for taking the action; and
•All procedural safeguards available under the federal
regulations, including a description of mediation, how to file a
complaint and a due process hearing, and the timelines under
those procedures.
Prior Written Notice
The notice must be:
•understandable to the general public, and
•provided in the native language of the parent, unless it is clearly not
feasible to do so.
–if the native language or other mode of communication of the parent is not a
written language, the notice must be translated orally or by other means to the
parent in the parent’s native language or other mode of communication, unless
clearly not feasible to do so.
